I cannot say enough great things about Fran. He is such a pleasure to work with. He was on time, completed the work I needed, and has such a pleasant friendly demeanor about him. I would give him 10 stars if I could and will certainly hire him again in the future. Scott from Natick
quick reply to my inquiry. Had multiple small jobs that Fran took care of quickly and competently. Very professional. Highly recommend
Fran was extremely reliable and did everything we asked. The main projects were installing bannisters and repairing a double hung window. He accommodated a tapestry wall hanging which was a little tricky. He even gave us hints for small things we could do on our own, for example recommending a mold cleaner. We will definitely ask him for help with future projects. Miriam
Fran is a top notch professional. Courteous, prompt and thorough. He helped with an assortment of work, including recaulking our bathtub, mending a broken tile, replacing mounding, and repairing an old door so it would swing properly. Eager to hire him for outdoor tasks once the weather turns this spring. You’ll be glad you contacted him.
